A teen tearaway landed herself six months in a young offender institute after copying a prank by children's TV presenters Dick and Dom.

Kiki Harvey, 17, who was made subject of an Asbo last April, was convicted of breaching the order by causing harassment and alarm to neighbour Robert Newton.

North Tyneside Youth Court heard how Harvey screamed `Boogie' and `Boogie Woogie' at the 53-year-old on two occasions on September 20 last year.

She also admitted punching him in the face after he complained to her father about the incidents.

The court heard how the `Boogie Woogie' prank was copied from CBBC programme Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow where celebrities compete to say the word `Bogies' at increasing volume in public.

Robert Newton, who lives across the road from Harvey in Clavering Street, Wallsend, North Tyneside, said: "I was on Station Road Wallsend heading towards the Metro. I saw Kiki and a lot of her friends coming up the other way.

"She waited until I was passing and jumped right in front of me and shouted `Boogie' right in my face. I didn't know what it meant.

"I thought she was going to take a swing at me. I said `that's about the level of your intelligence'.

"Later I was coming home with my wife when we saw Kiki further down the street waving her arms dancing and shouting `Boogie, Boogie'."

The court heard how Mr Newton had gone to remonstrate with Harvey's father, Steven Haley, but the teenager had come out of her home and punched him in the face, causing a split lip.

Crown Prosecutor David Waldon said he was bringing the case of breaching the Asbo on the grounds of her entire conduct during the day.

Harvey claimed the `Boogie' prank had been a joke and was never intended to cause offence. She said: "It's just a joke that's on the television, on Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow. They have to shout things and get louder and louder.

"All my other friends were doing it as well. We had done it to about three or four other people that day."

Defending Kyle Pattinson said: "The incident started simply with a kids' prank."

North Tyneside Magistrates sentenced her to a six month Detention and Training Order which will run alongside a current sentence for another breach of her Asbo.

Two weeks ago she pleaded guilty to the breach after threatening Debbie Anderson and other commuters on a Metro train between Monument and West Monkseaton.

Mrs Anderson told The Chronicle how Harvey had kicked chairs, shouted vulgar abuse and even threatened to stab her during the terrifying ordeal.

The latest incident is Harvey's fourth breach of her Asbo in less than a year.
